[96909] Escalation in Ukrainian strikes on Russian logistics axes in the Crimean Peninsula and Zaporizhzhia
Ukraine's security and intelligence forces report massive damage to Russian supply routes, including the destruction of a railway bridge and fuel trucks, with the goal of isolating the Crimean Peninsula.
The campaign against Russian logistics: Ukraine paralyzes supply routes
Ukraine's security forces have conducted a focused campaign over the past day to disrupt the supply arteries of the Russian army in southern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula. According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), these actions include the destruction of fuel trucks and military equipment along the "land corridor" leading to Crimea, with intelligence headquarters stating that "shipments towards Zaporizhzhia are cancelled" (according to a report in Censor.NET).
At the same time, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SSO) confirmed the destruction of a strategic railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal. According to the report, this is a "vital military logistics artery" that was used by Putin's forces to transport ammunition and fuel. The Real War channel noted that the impact of the strikes is already being felt on the ground, with dozens of vehicles waiting at the port of Kerch and trains unable to proceed beyond this point, leading to assessments that the peninsula is effectively becoming an "island."
Experts and intelligence officials emphasize that the operations are not limited to fixed infrastructure. The ArmyINFORM channel notes that Ukraine is systematically acting against fuel storage sites and air defense batteries, which has forced Russian authorities in Crimea to impose restrictions on the sale of fuel to civilians. Concurrently, outlets such as Channel 24 reported on strikes inside Russian territory, including in the Belgorod region, as part of the trend of extending the depth of strikes.
On the other hand, the We Ukraine channel quotes military sources reporting that despite the damage to logistics, Russia continues with heavy military pressure on the eastern front, including increased attacks in the Lyman area, which indicates a Russian attempt to continue the offensive campaign despite the logistical difficulties they are experiencing in the south.
